Memorandum of Agreement Between
City of Pueblo, a Municipal Corporation

I. Background
In fiscal year 2009 -2010, the Colorado Prevention Partnership For Success (CPPS)
received funding from a State Incentive Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA), awarded to the Governor's Office to implement the
Strategic Prevention Framework. The state underwent a preliminary needs assessment process to
identify areas in Colorado that have elevated rates of underage drinking, substance abuse and
related problems and that have proportionately fewer public resources allocated to address these
issues.
The Colorado Prevention Partnership Advisory Council (CPPSAC) selected Pueblo and
three (3) other areas in Colorado to receive funding in fiscal year 2009 -10 The purpose of these
funds is to support collaboration between school systems and other organizations in the
community to promote the prevention of Latino underage drinking and Latino binge drinking
and other problems by supporting communities in building and enhancing local prevention
infrastructure. Infrastructure includes prevention- focused coalitions, organizations and
networks, professional workforce, and policy decision - making bodies.
II. Purpose of the Memorandum of Agreement
The CPPS awarded funding to the Pueblo School District 60, a/k/a Pueblo City Schools
(the District) under a Grant Agreement (the "Grant ") to enhance school - community collaboration
and the coordination of substance abuse - related prevention efforts for children, youth and adults
within Pueblo This MOA represents an agreement between the City of Pueblo, a Municipal
Corporation ( "City ") and the District to collaborate on the implementation of the Strategic
Prevention Framework in Pueblo using funding provided under the Grant. Through this
collaboration, the District, City and the Pueblo Coalition to Prevent Underage Drinking and
Drugging — consisting of the Pueblo Police Department, Municipal Court as units of the City,
and the Pueblo County Sheriff - will collaborate on their efforts to reduce substance abuse within
Pueblo and to build, enhance and sustain effective prevention strategies, policies, programs and
practices, particularly as these relate to underage drinking.
